So the order od the day is bombsite clearance interspersed with washing, thread catcheruping, coffee and chilling!

Sounds just like my day too - so far I've done the coffee and thread catcheruping. Need to add to the list copious amounts of ironing and DD1's homework!

Best do something I think!

Have asked my eldest if she'd like to earn some cash and help me clean, she's up for it.

I am considering doing the same (even though I feel DS1 should help anyway), but have no idea how much to offer as an incentive. Any ideas?

[STRIKE] Wash hair[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Round 3 with Small Cat [/STRIKE] Cat 3 - Mrs Chaos 0
Finish bathroom
hoover LR
more laundry (DH has kindly left me the ironing this week) WIP
Call at school to collect stuff
School work
Cook tea
Investigate MSE e-mail for Tesco bonus (thanks for the reminder, Mumto5)
Entertain DS2 (currently on Wii, but not for much longer)
strip beds, wash bedding, make beds (mine and DS2's)
encourage DS1 to change his bedding

We're back to grey sky, after a short interlude. I don't think I'm going to get the cat to the vet's this week, so I'll try to let her get used to us for a bit. Only downside is that I don't want to end up with kittens and I'd like her to be checked over/de-flead etc.

OK, my break with coffee and toast is over and I'll see whether DS1 is surfacing. Need to get to school and also get some bread.

ETA Runs to catch up with sockdrawer for HHC.

Good morning all, hope you are all well and hugs for those in need.
This morning we went to MrT and got a few things. Friend came, collected and paid for nappy cake and OH and DD have gone to the caravan....not sure they'll get it on site in this weather though!!!!

I have almost an hour and a half before the nail lady conmes so best I go find a list.....

Just trying to sort out my finances but bl00dy Natwest online banking is down Grrrrrrrrrrrr. Think I am going to start paying my landlady cash rather than cheque as she has a habit of hording them for weeks (at least then I will know where im upto)



LiT

You can piggy bank with things like cheques and direct debits. Set up an extra account which has cheque book, transfer the money for any cheques you need to write and any direct debits. Stops it clogging up an active account. Personally I find money burns a hole in my pocket so I have an extra account which I stash money in. Never gets to a big amount by most peoples standards but to me :j its a hoard. It gets wiped out regularly by children's shoes but hey its not on a credit card.

I suppose it depends on their ages. Mine are 18, 14 and 13 and they all have 5 jobs to do each

Ds1(18) - clean the downstairs loo, wipe and clear kitchen table, keep his bedroom tidy and clean, put out the bins and sweep and mop the hall.

DD (14) - clean the bathroom, sweep and mop landing, hoover stairs, keep bedroom tidy and clean, hoover out the car

Ds (13) - walk the dog, feed the dog, wipe down kitchen sides, unload the dishwasher, keep bedroom tidy and clean

They all get £10 a week but if they miss 1 of their jobs then they dont get anything. We had a family meeting about this and the kids decided on what jobs they wanted to do. Its only been in place a week (since DD shoplifting antics) but so far so good but lets see how long it lasts hey lol

I do have different account but at the moment I seem to have cocked things up. I used to be paid weekly but my new job is paid monthly on the 1st of every month.My direct debits come out at different times so i just dont know where im up to. Think I need to change my direct debits so they all come out on the 3rd of every month.
